How To Top Rope Solo(Climb Alone)

In this video I explain in detail my top rope soloing set up. Using this method you can push on hard grades without having to worry about getting stuck or transitioning to rappel. If you want to spend time at the crag by yourself this is the solution. Extremely safe.

Avec le Basic de Petzl cela fonctionne également à merveille! Amitié des falaises Françaises!

Nice overview of your solo climbing method. All very safe. However, and I’ve been climbing since 1988, it’s always best practice to backup every anchor, no matter how bombproof (i.e., the tree) it might seem. Keep climbing!👍

BTW: ru in NM?

That shrub looks bomber m8 100% would whip

[@scottduerstock3771]

Great straight up explanation of your set up. Looks bomber to me. Maybe backup the anchor on the chain? As you show not necessarily necessary. 😄 I substitute the top microtraxion with a CT RollnLock. The set up runs smoothly for me.

Some people use two strands and the redundancy seems safer but I feel like just the one strand is more convenient. Wouldn’t want to die cause of convenience but you think a single strand is good enough?

@@ericlin158 this is the reason I use rope protectors on sharp edges. Grab them on Amazon for super cheap. This gives you redundancy without carrying the weight of an extra rope

Semi static, not static. Normally climbers would assume this. But there are full static lines out there. Just in case someone tries this on a full static, don't!

[@Nightwishmaster]

A static rope is perfectly fine for a TRS setup. You’re not really falling on it, you just sag into it. I use a similar setup (except I use a Camp Lift with a Kong Duck as my backup instead of the microtraxs) with a fully static line, it feels exactly like falling on a semi static top rope in the gym.
Of course, this is assuming you’re using a setup like this or in the video and there’s never slack in the system. If you’re using a Grigri and fall before pulling the slack in that’s a much different situation but that’s an extremely unfun way to TRS IMO and I would highly recommend a microtrax, Lift, etc kind of setup so you’re never actually falling, constantly having to pull in slack is really annoying and completely disrupts your flow.

5:00 huh lol 😂

[@CloveHitchCory]

Extra Tip: don't step on your climbing rope like me 2:20 🤣

Another variation...
Why even bother slinging the tree!?
It's stronger to wrap the rope half a dozen times around the tree then clip it back to itself.
